Euro/gallon scrap value.

She's working fine and there seems to be demand from lads for a second tank to tide them over in April and may

I bought a 420 gallon tank in 1994 for £400 used it for 10 years for milk. With the new regulations the old gas will be outlawed next year rendering your tank useless for milk storage.

I presume any scrap metal merchant.

Biggest problem with your is its fairly small, and alot of processors making ya have storage for 3days, so that tank will only hold enough for say 20/30 cows in June. But anyways, sorry, beside the point, try your luck throwing it up on donedeal, someone might be interested, you never know.

You will do well to get 500 for it. If its even worth that. Tanks everywhere and like the lads say the gas is old so I'm afraid that is against it.

euro a gallon sounds about right if its a dx one with the compressor attached to it so all it has to be is plugged in you "might" get a little more for it if ya can get a customer who wants a second tank "march might be a good time" to try and flog it but with grants going at 40% and it being so small the odds are against you

Put it up on donedeal. Someone will buy it to store beestings in spring. We have a 400gall tank that we put all the beestings into in the spring its very handy

nah seen it before looks messy. Just give beestings for as long as its there normally 3 weeks and then on to milk replacer. Works well
